Discovering new places and living through new experiences have always been important aspects of luxury travel, however, it is apparent that this definition is changing as we enter 2024.

Sailing the Victory Chimes – A Maine Sunset at Sea
by Craig Zabransky on October 20, 2019 in Sunset Sunday
On every sail, I always look forward to the sunset at sea. Sunsets and sailing are a perfect pair. Add a cocktail, and well, it produces an idyllic holiday memory. My time on the historic schooner, the Victory Chimes, proved exactly that – idyllic. Sailing History in Maine The Victory Chimes, a US National Historic […]
Sunset Sunday – Sailing the Black Sea of Bulgaria
by Craig Zabransky on July 15, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
When I first arrived to touch the waters of the Black Sea it was just that black, pitch black in fact. But the time read close to midnight when we reached the beach just south of Sozopol in Bulgaria to set up tent. It was no surprise. The next morning I woke to the sounds […]
Siga, Siga … Sailing the Greek Islands
by Craig Zabransky on June 29, 2012 in Destination, Reflection
Sailing the Greek Islands was the trip that truly set Stay Adventurous in motion. Below are the words I penned (or typed actually) as my first ever published travel story describing the trip. The site where it was published years ago, realhoboken, is no longer live, so I took the liberty to add the story […]

Most superstitious boaters believe the adage: “Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky at dawn, sailors take warn.” Take a gander at […]
A Day at Deer Island, Mazatlán
by Craig Zabransky on March 3, 2011 in Beach, Mexico Travel
The name Mazatlán actually originates from the indigenous Nahuatl language meaning “place of the deer.” So it’s no surprise the coastal destination calls one of its offshore islands “Deer Island” Unlike a similar Mazatlán beach excursion, Stone Island, this destination requires one arrives by boat. My journey began at the El Cid Marina Hotel where I […]
Sunset Sunday – Salkehatchie, South Carolina
by Craig Zabransky on May 2, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
This past April, I visited the lowlands of South Carolina for the first time. There I spent 3 days and 2 nights in the five counties known as the Salkehatchie region. I must admit I did enjoy myself. In a place where mobile phones rarely get reception you can really disconnect from the face paced […]
